Lenders adjust fixed home loan interest rates

Several Australian banks have adjusted their home loan interest rates this week, with some lenders lowering their fixed rates, while others increased theirs.

St.George this week reduced some of its fixed interest rates, including the 2 Year Owner Occupier Principal & Interest home loan, which went down by 0.06% p.a., as well as the 2 Year Residential Investment Principal & Interest, whose rate was reduced by 0.10% p.a.

St.George fixed rates that increased by 0.10% each included the 5 Year Residential Investment Interest Only, as well as the 5 Year Portfolio Loan.

These adjustments to fixed interest rates follow several changes to variable interest rates earlier in the month, with Macquarie Bank, ME Bank and ING raising some of their variable rates, while Heritage Bank lowered some of its variable rates for investors.
